Methane,
CH4
The formula for an alkane with four carbon atoms is C₄H₁₀. This alkane is named butane.
No. An alkane is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. Carbon monoxide consists of carbon and oxygen.
1-nonene is an alkene, as it contains a carbon-carbon double bond.
In an alkane, each carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms. So, the number of hydrogens in an alkane can be determined by the formula 2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane.
No. Octane is an alkane but it has eight carbons.
Alkane
The name for a ten-carbon continuous chain alkane is decane.
The molecular formula for an alkane with 18 carbon atoms is C18H38. Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms.
3-methyloctane is an alkane because it consists entirely of carbon-carbon single bonds. Alkanes are hydrocarbons made up of only single bonds.
1-nonene is an alkene because it has a double bond between two carbon atoms in its carbon chain.
They are. The only difference in name is that alkanes ends with -ane, alkenes end with -ene. Also, the alkane with the least carbon is methane (CH4) but the alkene with the least carbon is ethene (C2H4).
In an alkane the number of hydrogen atoms is two greater than twice the number of carbon atoms. If we reverse this rule, we find that the number of carbon atoms is one less than half the number of hydrogen atoms. 32/2=16 16-1=15 So our alkane would have 15 carbon atoms. This alkane would be pentadecane or one of its isomers.
